Part-time Undergraduate Students 

The university serves students who wish to study on a part-time basis, either in a program leading to a bachelor's degree, or solely for self-fulfillment. Students may register for courses scheduled any time of the day or evening, during the fall and spring terms, as well as during intersessions, semester breaks, and the summer session.

Part-time students pursuing a degree are encouraged to matriculate by gaining acceptance through the Admissions Office. Matriculated students receive earlier registration privileges than nonmatriculated students and may be eligible for financial aid. Students who wish to study for self-fulfillment as a nonmatriculated student may do so without applying to the university. Details on matriculation are listed in the Admission section of the Undergraduate Catalog.

Course listings may be found online on BannerWeb. Part-time students who wish to be admitted to the university formally into a degree program are required to follow the same procedures as those applying for full-time study. (For details, see the Admissions site.) Similarly, academic policies concerning grading, course withdrawals, prescribed course sequences, and mathematics and English placement examinations govern part-time as well as full-time students.  

Academic advisement center 

The Academic Advisement Center, located in Wintergreen 154, coordinates the initial advisement and course registration for new undergraduate part-time students. By developing flexible and responsive programs within and beyond traditional daytime hours and patterns of study, the university helps students attain their academic, professional, and personal goals.
